What use do numpad have for games? it's the select button for PC.
>>
>>740179749
All roguelikes need a numpad.
And when emulating old nintendo or arcade games, numpad feels much better than IJKL or equivalent.

the only usecase I had for them was GTA IV trainer stuff, or trainers in general tend to use them. or for aircraft driving, but you can rebind those.
to be fair it's never been more useless, TKL is comfy, makes the desk spatious and doesn't get in the way.
If you still need those I'd recommend left side numpad keyboards

I use them whenever I can, usually for entering numbers in keypads or whatever. Plus they are vital for roguelikes.

if you're left handed you're more likely to use your mouse in the left hand since that arm is more dexterious, so moving in games lands on the arrow keys.

If you are hurting yourself to reach any part of your keyboard you need to either use a different finger or get that checked out. Very comfortable for me and has never been an issue

Roguelikes.
Every single roguelike uses the keypad.
7 to move up left
8 to move up
9 to move up right
4 to move left
5 to pass a turn (often called 'rest')
6 to move right
1 to move down left
2 to move down
3 to move down right
It's uch more convenient than arrow keys which only feature 4 directions or using QWEASDYXC, whcih feels worse because the keys are vertically slightly less aligned and takes away opportunities for keybinds.
Sometimes + and - are used to go up and down stairs.

Numpad is actually superior for any game where you don't need to use the mouse or if you only need it occasionally

I have a keyboard without the numpad for years and even now I miss when I play mmo, I used to put a lot of out of combat options on it

if you use anything other than a full regular keyboard with normal buttons (not tall not flat), plastic make with membrane sensors under the buttons, preferably black, - you might as well cut your penis off, since you have clearly transitioned

Some games use these for supplementary controls, in operation flashpoint/arma the numpad is used to quickly angle the free camera independently of where the player's body is facing, "numpad -" and "numpad enter" together enable the command/cheat console and cannot be rebound as the regular - controls the timescale and is also hardcoded.
